5. General issues raised by industry association during the course ofmeeting

Problems faced by the Existing Industries

•  Looking on the problems and difficulties faced by the existing industrialist in the

district, it has been observed that there are certain common problems faced by them. Even

after the concerted efforts by different agencies, departments and institutions to accelerate the

growth of industrial development in the district, a number of new entrepreneurs fail to become

successful in their venture mainly because of low level of entrepreneurial qualities possessed

by them, lack of industrial culture, insufficient management and improper guidance and

jumping to set up the unit without proper thinking. Infrastructural facilities have not reached

to all areas in required level.

•  Shortage of power and insufficient power transmitting system are felt in the district

particularly in the industrial belt areas. Low voltage and frequent power failure affect the

existing units in capacity utilisation directly affecting the productivity and hence high cost of

production and low margin of profit. Delay of getting electric connection has been reported by

a number of new entrepreneurs. They are also concerned about the increase in electricity tariff

ever year by the Govt.

•  Marketing problem is another important problem faced by the entrepreneurs in the

district. The units in the district face high competition in the local market with the products of

outside units. Outside units are capable to market their product in comparatively low cost as

their production cost is low and having high productivity. The local SSI units are not capable to

supply their product on long term credit basis. Hence the long term credit system allowed bythe units situated outside the State is another hindrance to market the products of the local

units. The local producers also face stiff competition with the foreign market agencies who

have attractive marketing techniques. Decreased demand and lack of proper Govt. support in

marketing of local products have also reported. Also the people in the district has long trade

and cultural association with Tamil Nadu. The Government Purchase Programme is not

implemented in its full spirit.

•  Shortage of working capital problem is acute in the Tiny Sector of industries coupled

with non-availability of skilled labourers. This is a cause to their capability to compete with

outside manufacturers/Units.

•  Some units from Chemical, Rubber, Metalic, Textiles etc. have reported scarcity of raw

materials along with price fluctuations. This has made it extremely difficult for the units to fix

the price of the finished products.

•  Though the labour related problems in the district has considerably reduced, a number

of units are still facing scarcity of skilled/semi-skilled labourers Due to the demand of high

wage rate by the local labourers, the availability of labourers in low wage rate from the

neighbouring States, the management has turned to employ workers from other States. This

may create social problems as it reduces the employment opportunities for the local workers.

Sick Units Revival

•  Rehabilitation process of sick units is extremely slow. It is reported that the Financial

assistance even to the units that found potentially viable are getting even after a long period.

This delay on the part of the institution concerned make the unit totally unviable by the time

the package is granted.
